About the permit
Visitor parking permits allow people visiting your home to park for an unlimited time in resident parking areas nearby.
Permits are linked to a vehicle's number plate and are managed online. The following visitor parking permits are available:
- Annual permit.
- 30-day short-term permit.
- Daily visitor passes.
You can apply for between one and three annual permits, depending on where you live. Our online system will display the number of permits you are eligible for automatically.
Up to 30 Daily Visitor passes can be purchased annually in addition to any annual or 30 day permit.
The resident makes the application.

Check if parking is available on my street
The easiest way to check is to look at the street signs – your visitor is allowed to park in areas that allow resident parking. The Area number on the sign will also need to match the Area number on your permit.
You can also enter your address in the online map to see if resident parking is available on your street. If it is, then your visitor can use this permit to park there.
